Fall Football

Nothing says Fall at our home like the Flag Football we all love to play at the Helgesons. Shawn and I play football and the girls play with their chickens, the horses, on the swing set, or run around chasing the cat and dogs through all the grass. This week was really hot- almost 90 degrees. So, Shawn still played but I hung out with the other wives who didn't want to play in the heat and the kids had water gun fights and did the slip and slide.

After all the football, everyone got cleaned up and we had a corn feed. (It's a midwest thing to call a big dinner a feed) We had wagon rides and eat some of the best of what everyone had grown in their gardens. Fabulous salads, the sweetest corn, pulled pork and chicken sandwiches and wonderful desserts. What a great why to spend a Saturday!
